70's Inspired Floppy Wool Hat

Over the weekend I gave one of my dearest friends a 

RETRO INSPIRED FLOPPY WOOL HAT 

for her birthday.  Now I think I want one, too.

When I say I may want one, I mean, I can't stop thinking about it and had second thoughts of keeping my friend's gift to myself. Not that I would do that...

Sorry for all the fashion posts lately-- this time of year gets my fall fashion blood bubbling.  

I promise beautiful interiors the rest of the week!

Well, maybe...

Front Door Paint Color Inspirations

We've all done it.  We've sat and stared at the a bright or/and saturated paint sample and thought, "could I pull of this beautiful color in a room?" Then we decide we can't, so we sigh and walk away.  Those colors need not be ignored anymore! Instead, why not PAINT YOUR FRONT DOOR a fun expected color? It's a great way to brighten  up your exterior and get that dash of bold color we all desire! Take a look at these fun choices:

Sigh... If only I didn't rent. That Tiffany blue door would be mine.

Do you have a fun colored front door? If not, what color would you choose?

Perfect Pair: Back to School Fashions + Youth Room Decor

It's that time of year again- time to head back to class.  I always loved this time of year growing up.  The anxiety-ridden wait to find what friends are going to be in your class, the new books, pens, folders, and, most importantly, the new clothes!  Call me crazy, as modern as my tastes are, I love using traditional fabrics and silhouettes in both YOUTH FASHIONS & ROOM DECOR.

(My husband and I decided this adorable girl is what our little girl will look like one day. Fingers crossed!) 

(I DIE over those suspenders!)

Doesn't this time of year make you want to be a kid again? Sigh... They have it made.

Who's ready to go back to school?

Fashion Essentials: Gingham Shirt

The Autumn bug has really started to kick in this week.  I know, I know, it's barely mid-August, but hey, some stores already have Christmas decorations out. Now THAT is crazy.  To get my Autumn fix in (without looking too out-of-season) I grabbed a new GINGHAM SHIRT this past week:

So I can style this top for now...

...or later...

Let's take a look at how other modern sophisticates styled their gingham for Summer:

...and for Fall...

Gorgeous gingham isn't just for fashion either.  Take a gander at these gingham interiors:

How would you incorporate gingham in your life??
